THE BEST PEACE
to bay articles of use is where spe
cial inducements are offered. At
the Shoe Brokers, corner third and
Cherry streets, Macou, Ga., Shoes
are offered at extremely low prices.
A few dayB ago E. B. Harris & Co.
bought the entire stock of the Mix
Shoe Co,. They bought at very low
figures and are selling likewise.
There are many shoes offered at
less than half the regular price,
and there is a reduction on all for
cash. The prices are away below
competition, while the quality and
Btyle of the pboes are at the top.
But you needn’t take our word for
ii, you can examine the shoes and
judge for yourselves. Shoes that
are sure to fit and any kind desired.

A Fancier’s Pride.
It was the pleasure of this writer
to visit the home of Mr. W. D.
Sandwich at Fort Valley last Fri
day.
We followed our host through
the house and into the poultry
yard, where we saw a breeding pen
of White Wyandotte chickens'that
had been received from Canada
the day before. We never saw
prettier fowls, and we could readi
ly see that they are pure bred
stock. The cockerel won first prize
at London, Canada last fall, and
the pullets are of prize-winning
parentage. The beauty of these
fowls must be seen to be appre
ciated.
Mr. Sandwich showed us anoth
er peD of White Wyandottes, to
our eye scarcely inferior to the
first seen. From this yard, where
there are ^ix pullets, Mr. S. gath
ered five eggs that day, and that’s
the way these most excellent chick
ens lay every day.
We also noticed a yard fall of
Indian Games, better than which
there are few chickens.
Next we visted the dog kennel,
where we saw a most interesting
family of terrier pnppies.
The pigeon loft coutained about
20 pairs of beautiful homing pig
eons, and in the stable is the home
of one ot the prettiest ponies we
ever saw.
Mr. Sandwich will sell eggs from
his fowls, puppies and pigeons at
correct prices.
At dinner we ate of a baked In
dian Game fowl, and beyond doubt
it was the best we ever tasted.
Mr. Sandwich is nicely fixed at
his home, and in his fancy for
feathered beauties of pare breed
■he is ably assisted by his most es
timable wife.
B. Y. P. U. meeting.
A business meeting of the Bap

attended to a nice program was
rendered, consisting of solos, reci
tations, songs, and mnsiu on the

by all. Last bat not least, refresh
ments were served,ice cream frozen

which was packed away in boxes
for that purpose, and cake.
The meeting adjourned to next
Friday night, at the Baptist
church, to hear the report of the

monrued not as some do, for she
told them she had a hops she lived
by, and was willing to die by the
same hope. JThat she would meet
God in the place where there is no
pain nor suffering. She was' 41
years, 7 months and 2 days old ;
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey
